arrrrgh, and 90% of my post got filtered out.... ok, heres what i meant to say after the forbidden word (a-l-e-r-t):
it was a work around in case you were unfortunate enough to have pages containing that word. FYI, if you do have a page containing that word, your action attribute in your form tag will get corrupted (i.e. cutoff after that "a" word, like in the post above). this makes your pages viewable, but completely un editable (via postbacks)
one fix (a workaround to rename the page):
if you have firefox and firebug, you can edit the form tag directly in the page in the html tab.
if you have a page called Test A-l-e-r-t-s (without the dashes) your form tag will get cut off:
action="/Test "
in firebug, you can just fix that to /TestA-l-e-r-t-s/tabid/117/Default.aspx (again, without the dashes)
you have to do this again on the settings page, using the url for that page
/TestA-l-e-r-t-s/tabid/117/ctl/Tab/action/edit/Default.aspx.
Edit your page settings immediately to change the page name.
another fix (if you have access to the database tables):
edit the TabPath in the tabs table to get rid of the offending word. make sure to change the page name as well or the tabpath will get overwritten when you update the page settings later. you'll have to restart dnn for the changes to take affect.
sorry for the mixup (and i think the forum preview allows the "a" word, because it looked fine when i posted it)
